[Intro]
Duh-duh, you, duh-duh, you
Duh-duh, you, duh-duh, you
[Verse 1]
Not a speck of dust on chrysanthemum (Duh-duh, you)
Feather on the breath of the mother tongue

[Bridge]
You could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow
Deeper than a cinder in snow
You could get through to the blood and marrow
[Outro]
Not a speck of dust on chrysanthemum
